Irvin said that Falafelicious will serve traditional falafel and varieties with mint and harissa, a paste made from hot red chili peppers. Fillings on the build-it-yourself menu—customers can choose a base of salad, rice, wrap, or pita—will also include chicken kabobs, turkey gyros, and beef koobideh, a spiced ground patty.

*A previous version of this blog post misspelled Irvin's last name as Irwin. It also said he was a partner in the Kooper's Tavern restaurant group and in Manor Tavern. He was never a partner in those businesses. City Paper regrets the errors.
